Manoj Bajpayee says he gave up meat and liquor during a bad phase in his life: 'I started working on myself'

Manoj Bajpayee has been delivering promising performances for more than three decades in the industry, and the journey has never been a cakewalk for him. The actor recently revealed how he shifted gears in his career as he once dealt with a bad phase in both his professional and personal life.
In a podcast with Sushant Sinha, Manoj said that he faced financial struggles and many other hindrances in his career during a particular period.He was tired of dealing with it and built a coping mechanism. The actor started waking up at 5 am, going for yoga, and disciplining himself. During that time, he stopped eating meat, gave up liquor, and ditched all his bad habits. He emphasizes the importance of working on oneself.

He added that he called two directors daily, asking for work. They used to talk nicely to him. He wore nice clothes during that time, even if he was not going out for anything. This worked for him, and he would do acting exercises, read, apply all methods to himself, and go home to his family. He started socializing with friends again. He used the time of failure in a productive way. Manoj expected a comeback with Prakash Jha’s ‘Rajneeti,’ and it happened.
On the work front, Manoj was last seen in ‘Silence 2,’ and he is gearing up for the release of ‘The Family Man 3.’
